“Image Engine served as one of the primary visual effects partners on Season 11 of X-Files. Their creative team provided unique solutions to design challenges and consistently over-delivered with stunning visuals.

–Curt Miller, Visual Effects Supervisor, The X-Files

“Kudos to Image Engine for pulling the rabbit out of the proverbial hat on Thor: Ragnarok. With literally weeks to complete an entire sequence from start-to-finish, the team worked tirelessly to crack a daunting list of creative challenges – and genuinely seemed to have a great time doing it too! Thanks to everyone involved, I look forward to the next time.”

–Jake Morrison, Visual Effects Supervisor, Thor: Ragnarok

“Exceptional work from an exceptional team. Image Engine played a huge role in the success of the visual effects for Power Rangers. They developed a flawless Alpha5 and Zordon and then skillfully kept up with changing sequences and animation demands for both of their performances. In addition, they conceptualized and built a drop dead beautiful and eerie spaceship interior. Image Engine had confidence to meet the challenges of this show as well as the skill to back it up, I look forward to my next adventure with them.”

–Sean Faden, Visual Effects Supervisor, Power Rangers

Thanks again and hopefully till the next movie.”

David and I would like to express our great admiration and gratitude to all the Artists, R&D Team and Management at Image Engine. They are trusted collaborators.”

The superb craftsmanship, creative edge and sheer enthusiasm Image Engine bring to their work is something every film needs.”

They did a fantastic job.”

– Daniel Domachowski, Producer, Bloody Knuckles
